Chapter 385 Marionette?
"Come?"
Chen Fan looked at the lonely text in the holographic projection and suddenly came back to his senses.
"What does this mean?"
He subconsciously took a deep breath and asked a question to himself.
The cool air in the cockpit of the research ship rushed into his lungs through his nasal cavity, taking away the turbid air and the inexplicable loneliness brought by the song in his heart.
"Ghost Fleet..."
Chen Fan turned his head to look at the ghost fleet outside the porthole, which was constantly flashing with long fluorescent light, and an amazing idea gradually emerged in his mind: "It, it wants us to follow it?!"
"It looks like it."
Wang Jing followed closely behind, the second one to come back to her senses from the illusion created by the ghost fleet. She was slightly different from Chen Fan, and her face was a little ugly at this time.
On the one hand, it was because the continuous information interference had brought a lot of burden to her brain, especially after experiencing the impact of the information interference source, Wang Jing's brain had already reached a critical state.
On the other hand, it was because of the worry about the current situation of the Human Union-before mastering the information interference technology, the Human Union had no qualifications to fight against the ghost fleet or the broadcast civilization!
"Academician Wang, what should we do now..." Chen Fan hesitated and asked Wang Jing as he looked at the ghost fleet that was slowly leaving.
"You make the decision."
To Chen Fan's surprise, Wang Jing directly gave him the decision-making power: "I don't have much experience in investigation, and I'm definitely not as good as you."
Hearing this, Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
——Having such a boss is really worry-free.
Under the gaze of Wang Jing and two investigator assistants, Chen Fan thought for a while and quickly came to a conclusion:
"Follow it!"
"So far, there is no clue about the traces of the broadcast civilization." Chen Fan explained in a deep voice, "In this case, let's start with the Xinaluo civilization and the ghost fleet."
Chen Fan hesitated again and again: "My intuition tells me... Since the Xinaluo civilization, the ghost fleet and the starry sky zerg appeared in this node universe, they should be related to the broadcast civilization."
"Just like the Bray Alliance and the so-called Ramsey Empire."
Isa and Gao Yuan were shocked.
As people who have personally experienced the dispute between the Bray Alliance and the Ramsey Empire, Isa and Gao Yuan naturally understand the meaning of Chen Fan's words better.
"You mean..."
Isa looked a little uneasy: "Xinalo civilization... and the star Zerg, have also been affected by broadcast civilization and dangerous technology?"
Chen Fan was silent for a long time, and nodded hesitantly: "Although there is no evidence, but I... have always had this intuition."
Wang Jing's voice suddenly came from the side: "Wait!"
Compared with before, Wang Jing's expression was more solemn at this time:
"When did you start to have this intuition?"
Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, looking at Wang Jing's expression, he hesitated and asked back: "This matter... is very important?"
Wang Jing nodded, and emphasized again in a heavier tone: "Important! Very important!"
Although he didn't know what Wang Jing was up to, when he heard Wang Jing say that, he frowned and fell into deep memories.
"To be precise, it should be after leaving Varela."
"After solving the [Source], some similar intuitions would appear in my mind from time to time, but the intuitions at that time were very vague, like fleeting inspiration, elusive."
"Until now."
"These intuitions gradually became clear..." Chen Fan's eyes moved, and his voice became firm, "Oh, right, the ghost fleet!!"
"It was after encountering the ghost fleet that those intuitions became clear."
After sorting out his memory, the originally stumbling words instantly became fluent: "When I investigated the Ramsey Empire before, it was this mysterious intuition that made me determined to conduct an in-depth investigation of the Ramsey Empire!"
At this point, Chen Fan couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead: "Fortunately, I investigated the Ramsey Empire at that time, otherwise the node universe would sooner or later..."
As for Wang Jing on the side.
Listening to Chen Fan's description, the face of the academician became more and more heavy, and Chen Fan gradually stopped his narration.
Chen Fan looked at Wang Jing anxiously: "Academician Wang, what do you mean..."
The cockpit of the research ship returned to silence.
After a long time, Wang Jing squeezed out a few words from his mouth:
"...information interference."
"And it is very obscure and difficult to detect information interference."
Boom!
At this moment, Chen Fan only felt a roar in his mind.
Yes!
Like the broadcast civilization, the ghost fleet also mastered the technology of information interference!
The other party is fully capable of exerting psychological hints on him without knowing it! !
And these psychological hints, in Chen Fan's view, have become some kind of unique intuition!
Combined with the current communication information with the ghost fleet, the purpose of the ghost fleet is very clear - all the actions of the other party are nothing more than to tell Chen Fan about the Xinaluo civilization!
Just imagine.
If Chen Fan does not continue to track down the Ramsey Empire, he will not be able to discover the existence of [Suzheng] and the Starry Sky Zerg. Correspondingly, Chen Fan will not focus on the pan-universe, and there will be no high-dimensional signal reverse tracing experiment by Academician Wang Jing!
Thinking of this, Chen Fan suddenly felt that he had fallen into an ice cave, and waves of coldness kept surging from behind.
If it is really like what Wang Jing said, then all his actions are likely to be "remotely controlled" and calculated by the ghost fleet!
This feeling of being a puppet is not pleasant.
Chen Fan's face quickly became ugly.
It seems that it is actually very simple to get rid of the "remote control" of the ghost fleet. As long as he refuses to follow the ghost fleet now, it will be fine.
But...
facing an opponent who seems to be omniscient and omnipotent, how can he know whether his refusal is part of the plan?
"... What surprised me is that these actions of the other party have indeed brought a lot of benefits to the Human Union." Wang Jing's voice was full of confusion, "Could it be that... the civilization behind this ghost fleet and the broadcast civilization are mortal enemies?"
Wang Jing's eyes moved, and he continued: "For the Human Union, this is undoubtedly good news."
The three-legged tripod and the two-power competition, after all, the three-legged tripod has more room for operation.
Especially when two of the parties have a common enemy!
The Human Union can even form an alliance with the forces where the ghost fleet is located to jointly resist the broadcast civilization!
As for what happens later... that is not a problem that needs to be considered now!
When these thoughts flashed through Wang Jing's mind, Chen Fan also realized the hidden opportunities in his mind.
He took a deep breath and retracted the idea of "fighting" the ghost fleet in his heart-the ghost fleet can "remotely control" his thinking through information interference technology, and in turn, he can also use the ghost fleet to investigate the truth of the broadcast civilization!
It's just mutual use.
"Let's go!"
Chen Fan calmed down and gave the order again: "Follow the ghost fleet and see what it wants to do!"
...
In the starry sky.
The connection between the TE1571 research ship and the Varela was slowly disconnected. Next to the two, a blood-red crystal-shaped starship quietly served as a guard.
On the planet, a large number of investigator starships were constantly taking off and landing in the atmosphere. The ghost fleet left, the phantom disappeared, and after the crisis was resolved, the Starlight Plain returned to its former tranquility. The Varela people who had just completed their refuge migration began to migrate back to Starlight City with the help of the investigator starship.
With a wave of space-time fluctuations rippling around, the Varela, the research ship, and the blood-red crystal starship quickly entered the curvature navigation state, chasing the ghost fleet that was silently traveling to the edge of the star system at a speed slightly lower than the speed of light.
It seemed that the ghost fleet had noticed that Chen Fan and his party were chasing them, and the speed of the ghost fleet began to increase rapidly.
Suddenly.
Under the gaze of Chen Fan and his party, the ghost fleet disappeared very simply in the visible universe.
The starry sky returned to darkness.
At the same time, a shrill alarm sounded in the cockpits of the three starships at the same time
[Warning! ]
[Target lost! ! 】
Swish!
With the help of the curvature engine, the three starships suddenly broke away from the curvature state and quietly docked at the edge of the Varela star system.
Looking at the bright red warning message popping up on the starship's main console, Chen Fan felt bad.
The target has been lost before leaving the star system.
Listen, is this reasonable! ?
"Sir Chen Fan, what should we do now? Continue to maintain the original course?" Red Stone's voice came from the communication channel, throwing a fatal question to Chen Fan who was scratching his head.
Chen Fan was silent for a moment, turned his head and cast a look of help to Wang Jing in the research ship: "Academician Wang, is there any way to determine the movement of the ghost fleet?"
Wang Jing: "..."
She looked at the detection interface in front of her that covered multiple frequency bands but had no waves, and then looked at Chen Fan who was confused in the communication interface. Finally, she sighed and shook her head.
——The ghost fleet can only be observed in the visible light band. Once it disappears, even the most sensitive detection equipment of the human union cannot find its whereabouts!
"No..." Chen Fan's eyes widened slightly, staring blankly at the empty starry sky in front of him, "Brother?"
"You're leading the way like this?"
As soon as the voice fell, a soft light appeared again in the dark starry sky - the ghost fleet appeared in the starry sky again without any warning.
The fleet was still the same fleet, dilapidated and exuding a sense of tragedy after a war from the inside out, but for some reason, looking at the soft fluorescence slowly flashing in the depths of the fleet, Chen Fan actually sensed a bit of embarrassment and embarrassment from it.
It seems... the ghost fleet is apologizing for its previous actions!
Damn it.
The ghost fleet has become a spirit? !
As soon as this thought flashed through Chen Fan's mind, Yi had already taken the initiative to present the translated information above the main console.
It was a string of coordinates.
A string of coordinates that perfectly met the positioning standards of the human alliance.
At the same time as the coordinates appeared, the ghost fleet once again hurriedly disappeared into the visible universe.
